The Deluge Video

Im kinda new here, so I dont know if this has been already adressesed, but it seems like this is the most mysterious of TTA's videos.... I mean, why show us flashing lights, theres no code, no puzzle, just flashing lights!
But then I thought about it, and I noticed the lights aren't flashing randomly, there seems to be a pattern, has anyone tried slowing down the lights and seeing if it's morse code?

There is an entire thread dedicated to this video here...

http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=28251

In it, the idea of the flashes being morse code has already been discussed.

If possible, please delete this thread...

We have enough spam here as it is.

A couple of points that I haven't seen brought up within this thread:

The bars of light are often referred to as fluorescent lights, but they remind me of the vertical blinds from the house. The flashing would be harder to explain, but could be artificially created, or could be the result of very sped-up video, the light and dark patterns caused by clouds passing the sun. Whether it's a light as most people seem to think, or the end of the blinds over the sliding door may not be very relevant. If they are lights, has anyone had any ideas as far as if those lights are found in another scene?

The other thing I was reminded of is the cover to the Rammstein album Reise, Reise, (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/a0/ReiseReise.jpg). The white bars are reversed in direction, and the background is red, but the appearance is similar. It's not really the album cover itself that's important (most likely), so much as that it is a flight-recorder, as would be recovered from a plane wreck. That concept seems fitting, given the prevalence of recording and danger.

While this may be coincidence, the aforementioned album contains a song ("Dalai Lama") based upon Goethe's poem, "Erlkönig" which has to do with a sick child hallucinating(?) that the "Elf King" is trying to grab him away from his father as they ride through a forest. Somewhat Slendy-like.

I don't know if any of this is useful...but hopefully it will be.

Alas, I can't be of much assistance for the TTA videos - no technical skills whatsoever. I'm more of a story guy.

That's really interesting! However, I'm a bit confused -- which part is referring to a flight recorder? The cover itself, or the album?

The album cover is a flight recorder (the text in the lower right, "flugrekorder nicht öffnen" is "flight recorder, do not open"). Only one song on the album relates to airplanes (the one I mentioned, actually, "Dalai Lama"), although the title track could have something of a military connotation, "Reise, Reise" being somehwere between "arise" and a call to arms. Now that I think of it, that song could be tied in to the naval imagery that shows up in a couple of TTA videos...here's a translation: http://herzeleid.com/en/lyrics/reise_reise/reise_reise. In short, it speaks of seamen, fighting, blood, water.

The similarity to flight recorder picture from that album cover may not really be a link to the album, but it does bring to mind for me that the bars in Deluge (whether lights or space between venetian blinds) could serve as a warning or some sort of signal--maybe there's not morse code, but their very appearance is a symbol in and of itself.

I'm accepting the challenge to my sanity. I'm going to watch Deluge until I figure out what the morse code in the lights is. Wish me luck.

Code

Hi guys, I'm new here to this forum, but I came here to talk about the deluge video. I've tried to decipher the morse code in the screen, and it says Bleve (a fiery explosion of some sorts) April.
Also, I've figured out that if the audio is considered morse, then reversed it says ATT, if reversed again TTA.
>.> I want to hear your thoughts on this...

Well, TTA is a pretty obvious meaning XD Perhaps ATT would mean Alex to Tim?

I don't know, could be. But also I've found out something about Regards, the only thing being that there isn't a thread about Regards.
of course it has already been found out that the code is GKQ, but if reversed it says QKG which is a valid morse code. it means:
"Will relief take place when ...(ident) establishes ...(visual/communications) contact with survivors"
now the question is, who will be relieved when he/she sees the survivors of what?
also, the square the slashes appear in is small, then big, then small again, if that is interpreted as morse, it says R, which stands for Roger (now this one does sound a bit unlikely I admit)

but I think we should focus more on the Bleve April thing, since I think there is actually a lead there.

------- [edit]
we musn't forget that Deluge is something from the beginning of MH, which means ATT might mean at the tower

Holy Mother of Jonas, I just got a crazy, crazy theory.

At this point, I must confess that I'm still catching up with videos, and I just saw 19.5. If ATT does mean 'at the tower'... When combined with totheark...

What if it really means 'To the ark at the tower'? Now I need to go watch the videos involving the tower and check if there's anything resembling an ark there...

FYI I've found out something else, the 10 tone song in Regards can be translated to morse. It says SOH which is a code used for Start-of-header. AKA the start of the message.
